Highlights: How happy the ice cream man was that Dad gave him a tip, the Dodgers fan in front of us that kept starting cheers and got louder and louder the more drunk he got, and the fireworks show at the end.

Howdy folks! I hope you're summer is going well. We've been down here in California for two weeks now, and been up to a ton of stuff, and I'm sorry to say I haven't updated at all! I want to, though, so expect a bunch of short posts real soon about what we've been up to.

Before we came down to California, we sat down and made a list of the "50 Things We Want to Do This Summer."
